Dear All

Thank you for participating in the session today. 

In RRR we discussed:

• Post Renal transplant complications
• Ill child with joints involvement
• Chronic constipation – causes

The Communication scenario was of a 2 year old admitted following a convulsion, diagnosed as Febrile Convulsion secondary to Otitis media. Father is insisting on a CT scan to be sure. Dr P was in the hotseat, Dr S was a very able role player and Dr M had the examiner hat. Dr P made a very good attempt at the task of dealing with an angry adamant father. There was good feedback by Dr M.

The Learning points are:

• Do NOT forget a chaperone – ward sister / nurse
• How can I help – what have you been told?
• Check Rp’s prior knowledge before your input
• Move to Rp’s agenda
• Do not give too much information
• 30 sec Rule – do NOT forget
• Dialogue and not a monologue
• Avoid jargon – keep it SIMPLE
• You MUST NOT try to tell everything you know
• Use information leaflets 
• ARMMS – remember
